POV: You’re both busy but NEED to debrief 😭😂
This is what teamwork looks like in a busy family practice. Quick check-ins, passing conversations, somehow still managing to connect.
Real life isn’t Instagram perfect - and we’re okay with that! 💙

Grateful for teammates who get it. Even in the chaos.
Who’s your work bestie that makes the crazy busy days manageable? Tag them!!

THE NERVOUS SYSTEM CONNECTION NOBODY TALKS ABOUT 🧠
Here's what most parents don't know about sensory processing:
It's not about the senses themselves. It's about how the BRAIN and BODY communicate about those senses.
Let me break this down:
Your child's brain receives information from their environment - sounds, lights, textures, movement, smells. That information travels through the spinal cord and nerves to be processed, interpreted, and responded to.
But what happens when there's INTERFERENCE in that communication?
Think of it like this: imagine a garden hose with multiple kinks in it. The water (nerve signals) is trying to flow, but it can't get through smoothly. So instead of proper, appropriate responses to sensory input, you get:
• Overreactions to normal sounds
• Pain from clothing textures that shouldn't hurt
• Shutdowns in busy environments
• Meltdowns over minor changes
• Difficulty with balance and coordination
The problem isn't the senses. The problem isn't your child's willpower or your parenting.
**The problem is nervous system interference - and that has a name: subluxation.**
God designed an intricate communication system between the brain and body. When misalignments in the spine create interference in that system, everything downstream gets affected.
This is why traditional therapies often help temporarily but don't fully resolve the issue. Because we're teaching coping strategies for a system that's fundamentally stuck.
More on subluxation and what causes it coming this week...
Has anyone ever checked your child's spine and nervous system? 💙

"DID I DO SOMETHING WRONG?"
This is the question that breaks my heart every single time I hear it.
"Was it something during my pregnancy?"
"Did I miss something I should have caught?"
"Is it because of how they were born?"
"Should I have done something different?"
Mama, listen to me: **This is not about what you did or didn't do.**
But here's what IS true - and this is where hope comes in:
There ARE factors that can affect a child's nervous system development:
• Birth interventions (C-section, forceps, vacuum, long labor)
• Prenatal stress (it happens to all of us)
• Early falls and bumps during development
• Environmental stressors and toxins
• Illness and medications in early life
These things don't make you a bad parent. They're just... life. They happen.
But here's the beautiful thing: just like there are things that can interfere with nervous system function, there are also things we can do to RESTORE that function.
God didn't design our bodies to be stuck. He gave us incredible healing potential. Sometimes we just need help removing what's blocking it.
You didn't cause this. But you CAN be part of the solution.
And that's exactly what I'm going to show you at our **FREE event in February: THE PERFECT STORM.**
I'm going to walk through:
✨ How these factors build on each other
✨ Why your child's system got stuck
✨ What we can do to help it heal
No guilt. No shame. Just answers, hope, and a path forward.

WHAT IF IT'S NOT BEHAVIOR? 🤔
What if everything you've been told about your child's "behavior problems" is missing the real issue?
Swipe to see what's REALLY happening...
For years, parents have been told these are behavior problems. Discipline issues. Parenting failures.
But what if I told you these are actually NEUROLOGICAL issues?
'For we are fearfully and wonderfully made' - Psalm 139:14
God designed each child with an intricate nervous system. When that system gets stuck - when communication between the brain and body is disrupted - behaviors emerge that look like defiance but are actually distress signals.
The question isn't "How do I fix my child's behavior?"
The question is "What's preventing my child's nervous system from working the way God designed?"
And THAT is the question I'm going to answer at our FREE event in February: **THE PERFECT STORM**
Comment "TELL ME MORE" and I'll make sure you get the details!
Which "behavior" have you been struggling with most?

THE EXHAUSTED MAMA 😮💨
Can we be real for a minute?
You're tired.
Not "stayed up late" tired. Not "long day" tired.
You're "I don't know how much more of this I can take" tired.
Every morning starts with clothing battles. Every meal is a negotiation. Every outing requires military-level planning and an exit strategy. Every bedtime takes hours.
And the worst part? The comments from people who don't get it:
"You just need to be more consistent."
"Have you tried a sticker chart?"
"My kids go through phases too."
No. This is NOT a phase. This is your child's body STRUGGLING every single day to process a world that feels overwhelming, painful, and threatening.
As a mom and a chiropractor who sees these families daily, I want you to hear this:
**You are not failing. You are fighting for a child whose nervous system needs help that discipline can't provide.**
Your child isn't being difficult - they're HAVING difficulty. And that difficulty has a root cause that traditional approaches aren't addressing.
There IS hope. There ARE answers. And you don't have to keep living like this.
Tell me: what's the hardest part of your day with your sensory-sensitive child? Let's validate each other in the comments 💙

IF ADHD WERE A PICTURE... THIS WOULD BE IT.
A balanced SEMG scan shows symmetrical muscle tension with smooth, consistent nerve activity on both sides of the spine — that’s a nervous system that can focus, regulate, and adapt.
This scan was the opposite. Look at how the black line dives and spikes erratically — that’s the nervous system firing inconsistently, struggling to maintain balance. The asymmetry between left and right sides shows where subluxation is disrupting nerve communication to the muscles.
This isn’t just tight muscles. This is a nervous system that can’t regulate itself — constantly misfiring, unable to settle, stuck in overdrive.
And the symptoms? What most people call “ADHD.”
Here’s the thing: labels describe behaviors, but they don’t explain the ROOT CAUSE.
What we often find underneath is nervous system stress — subluxation keeping their body stuck in fight-or-flight mode. It’s not that they won’t focus... it’s that their overwhelmed nervous system CAN’T.
Gentle pediatric chiropractic care helps restore nervous system balance so kids can focus, regulate their emotions, and learn the way God designed them to.
If you’re seeing these struggles in your child, you don’t have to guess — you can KNOW what’s happening in their nervous system.

"WE'VE TRIED EVERYTHING" 😞
Occupational therapy. Check.
Sensory diet. Check.
Weighted blankets. Check.
Special school accommodations. Check.
Behavioral therapy. Check.
Elimination diet. Check.
And your child is STILL struggling with the same sensory issues.
Mama, can I ask you something? Has anyone ever looked at your child's SPINE and NERVOUS SYSTEM?
Here's what most parents don't know: all those therapies and tools work WITH a nervous system. But if that nervous system is fundamentally stuck - if there's interference in how the brain and body communicate - you're fighting an uphill battle.
It's like trying to run software on a computer with a bad operating system. You can add all the programs you want, but if the foundation isn't working, nothing runs smoothly.
This doesn't mean OT isn't helpful. It doesn't mean sensory diets don't have value. They absolutely do!
But what if we addressed the FOUNDATION first? What if we helped your child's nervous system shift out of constant fight-or-flight mode?
That's when families tell me: "Therapy is finally working!" "The accommodations actually help now!" "It's like something just clicked!"
God didn't make junk. He designed an incredible nervous system with the ability to process, adapt, and heal. Sometimes we just need to remove what's interfering.
Tell me: what's the most frustrating thing you've tried that didn't work?

IS THIS YOUR CHILD? 👆
Swipe through to see if any of these sound heartbreakingly familiar...
Here's what you need to know: these aren't behavior problems. They're signs your child's nervous system is struggling to process the world around them.
And there's a reason why. More on that coming soon...
Which one hits closest to home? Let me know in the comments 👇
*In February, I'm hosting an event called "The Perfect Storm" where I'll explain exactly what's happening in your child's nervous system and what you can do about it. Stay tuned!*

THE INVISIBLE STRUGGLE 😔
Tell me if this sounds familiar...
Your child melts down over clothing tags. Covers their ears at normal sounds. Can't sit still at the dinner table. Avoids certain food textures like they're poison.
And everyone says: "They're just sensitive." "It's a phase." "They'll grow out of it."
But mama, you KNOW this is different. You know it in your gut.
Here's what I see in practice: kids labeled as "difficult" or "high-maintenance" who are actually dealing with something much deeper. Their nervous system - the master control system of their entire body - is stuck in overdrive.
No amount of discipline, behavior charts, or patience can fix what's happening at a neurological level.
Over the next few weeks, I'm going to share what most parents don't know about sensory struggles. Because common and normal aren't the same thing. And your parenting isn't the problem.
God designed our bodies with incredible healing potential. Sometimes we just need to understand what's interfering with that design.
